My health insurance premiums go up! Posted on 09/25/2002.

...and more to look forward to on this, my 30th birthday.

It's remarkably anti-climactic.

If health insurance is all you have to worry about then you'll be pleased to note that you are another year closer to Medicare.

Congratulations!!! Now that you're 30, you can start buying toys for yourself...instead of getting stuff you're supposed to need. Celebrate getting older--much better than the alternative.

Happy Birthday Peter!

...and I'm never trusting a single thing you say ever again.

(you know, that whole "don't trust anyone, yadda yadda...forget it)

Happy birthday, dude. You should have let me know it was this soon when you were here - we could have picked you up a Hello Kitty vibrator, easy. ^^

COMMENT #8
The only climax you can have on your 30th birthday is of the sexual kind.

Think IA. A date is only a label given to 24 hours that begin and end at artificial points in time.

Oh, and a happy birthday

COMMENT #10
I was in the shower the other day, washing my hair, and I thought, "Holy Shit! I'm going to 30 soon!" The odd thing is, I still feel like a little kid. I am married and have a mortgage; soon to be 30. But I guess people feel that way no matter how old they get ...

Happy birthday Peter. Enjoy :)

COMMENT #11
This is what I get for not keeping up with your blog more often. Happy (belated) Birthday! You have the same bday as my housemate, it seems.

I can't believe how frickin' young you are.
